Axiom Modules

            Axiom plans to launch 4 modules into the International Space Station. 

            The 1st Module has an observation cupola that gives the astronauts a spectacular view of our planet. 

            The 2nd Module is the Habitation Module which will be used as accommodation for the tourists. This module has windows and a small television. 

            The 3rd Module is the research module used to conduct experiments. 

            The 4th Module is the Thermal and power module. It has a folded tower that consists of solar panels necessary to provide power to the habitat. It will also combine some older modules from the ISS. 

            When ISS retires in 2030, these new modules will detach from the ISS and becomes a fully operational commercial space station.
